    My 37 Gallon tank and 20 Gallon Sump

    My sump has a refugium and a SWX extreme cone 120 skimmer.
    I will be buying chaeto and adding a light (anyone know a cheap fix for this).

    Thanks~

    Wow...I know it's only the beginning, but boy your tank has a ton of potential. The rock work looks great, looks very natural to me.

    Thanks for the comment! I'm trying to get the best out of my tank before I go off to college this fall...

    The tank looks really nice! Are the two black pipes on the back wall the overflow?

    Great looking tank, as far as a light goes, i just have a spiral CF bulb and an old clamp on desk lamp for my light and the chaeto, just go to your LFS and buy a clump they usually are around 10$ you dont need much b/c it grows fast, and also pick up a timer, and run it as an opposite cycle as your tank lights, so at night your fuge light will be on, it helps balance your PH

    I really like the rock work also. Looks like you will be able to show off some really nice coral.

    The liverocks were with me for 2 yrs, but I just didn't have the time to get all the sump and filtration set up. It's a slow process. I do have random polyps here and there, not sure which ones. and I have a cheap damsel fish in there for now.

    Does anyone know an beginner corals to start with? My lightings are 150 watt PC.
